I do not care for politics. As a Christian to some it should be black
and white which “side” you should choose. But when you look at the Bible it
does not fall under a specific party. However, what the Bible says about
sin is black and white. What am I? I am a Christian. Who do I vote for? The person
who is the closest to believing in what I believe. There is only one thing that
anyone should ever hate and that is sin. Because sin is what causes so much
hurt and destruction in our society. And more importantly we are all guilty of
it.

For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God. Romans 3:23

I cringe when I hear Christians claim that
others are greater sinners than they are. We are not the one to judge. We are
here to witness and show God’s love. We need to live our lives the best we can
and serve God. By serving God we love other people. No we do not support their
sin, nor do we agree with it. But we should never approach the issue with anger
and hate. We are to be Christ like. We are to show them with love how much God
loves them. If we as Christians would do this can you imagine the impact it
would have? I want my children to grow up in a society that knows Christ. I
want my children to know the love of Christ. Not the impression that those that
are not saved have of Christians, but most importantly of God. God is love. He
loves us all. We can all have him in our hearts. We can all be saved. We can
all feel the pure joy and peace when you have him living inside your heart.
That is what we need to be passionate about.

So before you take a stand and say something
and speak anger towards anyone. As a Christian think about it first, read your
Bible, step back and ask yourself…What would Jesus do? We should always stand
up for what we believe but we should also always do it in love.
